The Kentucky Wildcats and EKU Colonels will face off in a rare in-state battle on the gridiron this coming weekend, but sadly, we are reminded how precious life is and how football is a very small part of it.

EKU defensive lineman Joseph Kraemer was killed in a car accident over the weekend in Madison County, according to a report from WKYT:

Monday, WKYT learned that a man killed in a weekend car accident was an Eastern Kentucky University defensive lineman.

Joseph Kraemer, 19, was pronounced dead Sunday by the Madison County Coroner.
